I don't know if I find this more annoying or funny. While trying to give my opinion of disagreement with someone in r/relationship_advice, I was told that I was mansplaining. Does it feel to anyone else like this has become a more common accusation lately? People don't even use it correctly. It's supposed to mean when a man either explains something to a woman that she would know better (example: female reproductive system), or when a man explains something so dumbed down because he thinks women are stupid. It doesn't just mean any time a man explains something to a woman. I wasn't even explaining anything, just giving advice, but this was used to delegitimize my opinion. I've been told that I'm mansplaining a good number of times on Reddit, when I honestly don't think there's ever been a time when I've actually mansplained anything. It feels more and more like it's being used as a way to dismiss men's arguments for basically everything.
